Bootstrap Datepicker - Months and Years Only

Question

I am using bootstrap datepicker and my code is like following, Demo of the code on jsfiddle

<div class="input-append date" id="datepicker" data-date="02-2012" 
     data-date-format="mm-yyyy">

 <input  type="text" readonly="readonly" name="date" >    
 <span class="add-on"><i class="icon-th"></i></span>      
</div>      


$("#datepicker").datepicker({
        viewMode: 'years',
         format: 'mm-yyyy'
    });

The above code is working fine, but what I am trying to do is allow users pick months and years only.

Could you please tell me how to do that?

Answer 1

How about this :

$("#datepicker").datepicker( {
    format: "mm-yyyy",
    viewMode: "months", 
    minViewMode: "months"
});

For version 1.2.0 and newer, viewMode has changed to startView, so use:

$("#datepicker").datepicker( {
    format: "mm-yyyy",
    startView: "months", 
    minViewMode: "months"
});

Also see the documentation.

Answer 2

Notice that in the version of 1.2.0 the viewMode has changed to startView.

eg:

$('#sandbox-container input').datepicker({
  startView: 1,
  minViewMode: 1
});

Answer 3

I'm using version 2(supports both bootstrap v2 and v3) and for me this works:

$("#datepicker").datepicker( {
    format: "mm/yyyy",
    startView: "year", 
    minView: "year"
});

Answer 4

For the latest bootstrap-datepicker (1.4.0 at the time of writing), you need to use this:

$('#myDatepicker').datepicker({
    format: "mm/yyyy",
    startView: "year", 
    minViewMode: "months"
})

            }).val()
        });

Answer 6

You should have to add only minViewMode: "months" in your datepicker function.

Answer 7

To view the months of the current year, and only the months, use this format - it only takes the months of that year. It can also be restricted so that a certain number of months is displayed.

<input class="form-control" id="txtDateMMyyyy"  autocomplete="off" required readonly/>

<script>
('#txtDateMMyyyy').datetimepicker({
    format: "mm/yyyy",
    startView: "year",
    minView: "year"
}).datetimepicker("setDate", new Date());
</script>

Answer 8

Hello if you want to get only year this will help you

  $('.date-own').datepicker({
     minViewMode: 2,
     format: 'yyyy'
   });

Answer 9

Why not call the $('.input-group.date').datepicker("remove"); when the select statement is changed then set your datepicker view then call the $('.input-group.date').datepicker("update");
